There is no accounting for bad taste. At least not at Barbuzzo on 13th street. This pan Mediterrean restaurant has hardly the space for a sleeping bag but that rarely deters patrons who are willing to wait in long queues for a seat at the bar. The daily chalkboard specials feature purple radish sprouts and Japanese turnips. The small list of 40 wines is personally handpicked by the owners to complement the equally curated seasonal menu.
And one look at the menu and you will know that you are in for a rustic twist to a very unique menu. The sheep’s milk ricotta, house-made charcuterie board of cured meats and bread, eclectic salads, creamy pasta, and other elements of this extensive fare is made with fresh ingredients. But my heart lies with the pizzas here. As a pizza and flatbread enthusiast, I have scoured through many cities for that perfect pizza. If through its earlier offerings the superiority of the treatment of vegetables isn’t evident then the pizza is sure to give you an insight into the richness of the cooking. Unique varieties of pizzas with their blistered crusts and seasonal toppings have rendered them the best I have had in Philly.
